Battery Tech Ping!................
For batteries, one material does it all
The new material consists of a mix of sulfur, germanium, phosphorus and lithium. This compound is used as the ion-moving electrolyte. At each end, the scientists added carbon to this electrolyte to form electrodes that push the ions back and forth through the electrolyte as the battery charges and discharges.
(Sulfur, germanium, phosphorus, lithium, and carbon. That’s FIVE)
Won't this get the global warming crowd in a major hissy fit? After all, everybody knows that carbon is evil. After all, people are evil and carbon is the next most common element in our bodies after dihydrogen oxide.
I think they took the cookie analogy a bit too far...not everyone functions at the intellectual level of a five-year-old.
